Letter: Letters: Medicinal peas

From JANE HATT

Further to your correspondence on Useful Things To Do With Frozen Peas
(Feedback, 28 September; Letters, 9 November), may I suggest two more invaluable
tips.

A handful of frozen peas placed in a polythene bag and held gently against
a bruised and battered perineum post-childbirth, is most soothing and effectively
reduces swelling.

Also, later on when the baby becomes a toddler, should nappy-rash be
a problem, a yet smaller quantity of frozen peas in a bag held against the
inflamed blotches on the buttocks brings very quick relief.
